On Pleasure.

"God's your prankster, my boy.  Think of it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift and then, I swear to you -- for his own amusement -- his own private, cosmic gag reel -- he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch but don't taste.  Taste but don't swallow. And while you're jumping from one foot to the other he's laughing his sick fucking ass off! He's a tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord!
Worship that? Never."
-------------Milton, Devil's Advocate

i really don't know how to say this but i really don't like the way some religions set their own rules that even doesn't make sense.. as for me. trying to make things better but they don't even realize, or even (maybe) ignoring it, that all the rules that they implemented are not really working. i just guess people should focus more on their faith , if they have one, and not to their "beliefs". i may not know who will save them, lol, but i know they will be saved.

well, just my opinion.. =I

well, actually if we're going to say somebody will be save, it automatically implies they will be saved from something.

but if I would believe in an omnibenevolent and loving God, there will be no hell, because eternal punishment like hell (in Christian Doctrines) is unjust. Imagine serial killers, one time offenders, good (but unbelieving) people all suffers in the same hell of fire. A terrible thought for me.

But i'm glad when my prophet said:
How can you, human, offend God?
Can a firefly offend the stars?
Or the nightingale offend the stillness of the night?
Or the wind be burdened by your flame and your smoke?
Do you think God is a still pool that you can trouble with a staff?
------------Almustafa, The Prophet

Nope, not my God. My God is the Source and we all shall return unto Him, like the river, whether its straight or bending, shall return to the Ocean.

my father preached me before that the ones who will make blunders will be thrown out to hell. so does that mean that all of us won't make it to heaven? we're no perfect at all. we do commit mistakes. "Jesus" committed a mistake, as i remember. which made me believe that even he,is not perfect. but why is he living in heaven..?

the longer i live, the more deeply i am convinced that what makes a human wicked is the power, and the strong determination to rule over someone, and make them fear of something which isn't really existing. for me, we are the demon in our own lives. i don't believe in such a place called "hell." but i am not saying that we have the impunity to do everything we want.

well, i'll just say that it will be just me, and my Light. i may not call him as my God but i put my faith in him. no beliefs, no fears and definitely, no hell.

There is no hell and is no heaven... all fairy tales invented by a church who treats his believers like slaves
